Yeah its super preloaded and sag is about 35% which is where i usually run it. Shock is still super active and soaks up all the small stuff. Feels like landing on a cloud when doing drops and jumps. Finally the rear suspension on my nomad feels how i want it

I think its more the shock as it doesnt have platform dampening like most other coils. It seems a lot more active than other coil shocks ive tried

^ Definitely that too..a raw kind of feel is always super nice. But, from what I hear, Ti Springs do make a huge difference.

Funny i read they dont make that much of a difference, they are just lighter

Well, then you and me are on two separate pages...

Perhaps the reviews I've heard are just all BS/Hyped up. Idk, lol.

Some people say the titanium springs work better in the small bump compliance category.

Beside 4x, SS, XC, I didn't know people used RP Eek

Nothing against it, but once a rider goes coil/air there's no going back!
